Pre-judging doesn’t necessarily determine the champion, but it offers a glimpse into who the judges consider most viable for the overall title. Athletes positioned centerstage during the final callout in pre-judging are typically the athletes battling for the gold.

Chapados and Teixeira had the majority of the fan support. However, Chapados was in the center of the first call-out with Aimee Delgado. They appeared to be the judges’ early favorites and the final head-to-head callout between them confirmed that.

The Bikini International finals occur at the Battelle Grand Ballroom on the evening of March 2, 2024, where Arnold Schwarzenegger will award the trophy to the 2024 Bikini International champion. The entire contest can be watched live for free via livestream on the Arnold Sports website.
